Nesso: The Village of the Spectacular Orrido
Between Como and Bellagio, lies Nesso, a picturesque picture-postcard village famous for the striking Orrido di Nesso gorge. This natural gorge has been carved over the centuries by the Tuf and Nosè streams, creating a spectacular waterfall that plunges directly into the lake. The best spot to admire it is the Ponte della Civera, a charming medieval stone bridge.
